on top of the emails showing Epstein directly supporting individual predatory professors, a professor who planned a "campus rape and consent" conference with the intention of undermining mid-2010s attempts at progress around Title IX requested funding for it from Epstein

This was an unpermitted march btw. The rally in the park was permitted (by @nycparks.bsky.social) but the ensuing march is NYPD jurisdiction and they didn’t issue (or to my knowledge, apply for) a permit.

Spoke with postal union leaders. There is a legit fear that Trump’s mail-ballot scheme is going to insert postal workers into nasty politics and make them subject to threats and harassment, à la election workers. And also hurt USPS’ strong reputation w/ Americans www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Marvin Miller wrote in his book, "Competitive balance is a phony issue." I highly recommend reading that and The Lords of the Realm if you want a greater understanding of the history of labor and MLB — and why MLB is running the propaganda campaign it is right now.

Philosophers often bring up the "principle of charity": a willingness to assume good faith in an interlocutor and treat them accordingly. It's good to do in many circumstances. But it is worth formulating a principle of not being a fucking mark. If not during the rise of fascism, then when? 12/

Yet another op-ed in prestige media pretending racism, sexism and transphobia among Republicans is a response to Democratic overreach www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/o...
Republicans Are About to Repeat the Democrats’ Biggest Mistake
Over the years, Republicans have portrayed Democrats as beholden to bespoke identities (they/them), obsessed with an alleged genocide (Gaza) and in thrall to anti-American revisionism (see the efforts to recenter our national narrative on slavery).

We are critics of diversity, equity and inclusion programs who largely agree with that characterization. We believe the Republicans’ war on woke has made America a fairer, safer place by checking some of the worst excesses of modern progressivism, from antiwhite discrimination in corporate America to biological men competing in women’s sports.

But we are also concerned that this backlash is morphing into something darker, dumber and ultimately self-defeating. Today the right has begun to resemble its depiction of the left: There are invented identities like heritage American, claims of white genocide in South Africa and arguments from right-wing influencers that the Allies weren’t the good guys in World War II.

What changed, in other words, were the facts on the ground. The Republican Party responded organically to a shift in public opinion, which was itself a response to a more assertive form of transgender activism — one whose definition of inclusion seemed to compromise basic notions of fairness. Once regarded as a political albatross, bathroom bills are now on the books in 21 states.

A similar dynamic drove the right’s dwindling tolerance for affirmative action and D.E.I.

I saw a really interesting video the other day about how partying used to be an all-generations kind of thing back in the 60s/70s/80s, and that the idea that only young people should party is fairly new and neoliberal bc bars/clubs focused on young people to increase drink sales.

TMZ stays evil and unethical. The article says AOC and her ex split up YEARS ago, but they’re framing it as something that just happened to capitalize on the sexist outrage over her freezing her eggs. They know the vast majority of people won’t read the article.
A screenshot of a TMZ post that says “💔 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez splits from fiancé Riley Roberts.” There are side-by-side photos of them with a crack graphic down the middle. The article reveals they actually split up two years ago.

Ifollowed sports science and related discourse for decades and there's always been an undercurrent of race science in there, but usually at something of a whisper. over the last few years there seems to be a resurgence of the very overt stuff. this post today from a fairly famous fitness influencer
screenshot post from Menno Henselmans' FB page. text says:

"There's a common intuition that black-African individuals are genetically gifted for sports and muscularity. A new preprinted study's researchers walked into this political minefield to find the truth. 40 Untrained men of African or European ancestry, based on genetic testing, completed 9 weeks of supervised resistance training."

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:
Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

So much loser behavior in Dodgers-Skubal discourse. Running to the owners for a new CBA like loser parents pressuring youth league when their kid loses. Be upset with them for Chavez Ravine, the way they ignore SA/DV, or their owner investing in prisons. Otherwise it's just soft.

"I was unavoidably moved before I saw it was the work of a group I don't like... and now let me use free association to tell you about 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 group I don't like"
Quote from article in quote tweet:
Not long ago, I walked through a park in Toronto to a fence with hundreds of purple ribbons tied to it. Each represented a resident who had died of an overdose, and I was unavoidably moved. Then, as I read a leaflet, I realized that the memorial was the work of the Harm Reduction Advocacy Collective, “a liberation movement of people who use drugs,” along with public-health professionals and academics who “stand up for the rights of drug users.” It’s one of a number of similar groups in Canada, such as the Substance Use Health Network, which condemns “anti-euphoria prohibitionist principles” such as “the idea that illicit drugs are inherently bad.”
